I think the DACA that Trump will lay on the table....will be some DACA-lite offering. I think he’ll say that you (without arrests or convictions) can walk in and ask for the DACA deal, which means you get a visa/work-permit and a ten-year path to citizenship (if you didn’t get arrested or convicted). Part of this might include the fact that you need to establish you’ve been in the US prior 2017, and prove you haven’t registered to vote. With the pathway deal, you wouldn’t be able to vote until you fulfilled ten years of residency.
But the rockhard truth is that Pelosi and the rest will fight against this because it doesn’t go far enough. Once they do this ‘act’....Trump will get half of the Latino votes, and the whole game changes overnight.
Exactly
He can put out that those who are qualified for DACA have had to have never taken any kind of handout, done well in school, no problem with the law, and can support themselves. Then they can wait for 10 years minimum for citizenship
Frankly, I never believed the dreamers were ever going to go anywhere. It is a very sensitive and sentimental issue. Many American kids grew up with them in their communitiesi church, schools, etc. Forcing them out would have been political suicide and as long as they are thoroughly vetted, I don’t care. In fact, if this is Trumps deal today and Pelosi doesnt take it, it will be a massive WIN for Trump.
